They were slotted to become a major band in the metal music scene, even though the music was dark and dungeon-inspired, and a music video for the song "Betrayed" was released. Following the release of this album, Crosby and the band split, and she reformed the band with new members and released their second album, Toxic Voodoo in 1994, which demonstrated a heavier, thrash metal style.[3]
Crosby died of liver failure from substance abuse on December 15, 1996, at the age of 33.[4][5]
